About Lemongrass
Lemongrass is a fragrant herb native to tropical regions of Asia, commonly used in cuisines like Thai, Vietnamese, and Indian for its citrusy flavor. This versatile ingredient comes in stalks and can be used fresh, dried, or as an essential oil. Rich in antioxidants, lemongrass supports digestion, boosts metabolism, and aids in reducing inflammation. It contains small amounts of vitamins A and C, iron, magnesium, and folate, contributing to overall health. Lemongrass is known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties, which can help strengthen immunity. While it’s generally safe for consumption, people with plant allergies should consult a doctor before use. Low in calories and fats, lemongrass makes an excellent addition to soups, teas, and curries, offering medicinal benefits along with its vibrant flavor.
